Israel is too complicated: what can we do? Answer: a lot. Details below...

Rant alert. Mega rant alert. How about our leaders stop wringing hands, issuing feeble denunciations, and actually DO something? Stop the moral equivalency. Stop pretending we’re helpless. There’s plenty we could do if genuinely committed. Here’s some suggestions for starters. 🧵

BREAKING: the EHRC has formally abandoned its contention that employers need to provide single sex toilets. goodlaw.social/4npg

There is no justification whatsoever for the US or UK to provide any support, material or diplomatic, for Israel's attack on Iran. It is a war of aggression, clearly contrary to international law.

A century after the 1925 Letter of the Anti-Fascist Intellectuals against Mussolini, 400+ academics & 31 Nobel Laureates sign a letter condemning the resurgence of fascism. Resistance today, like then, can inspire reshape society. 👉Sign the open letter: stopreturnfascism.org

A fascinating read.

While attacking Iran, Israel continues to bomb Gaza!

Three members of the Madleen team—Pascal Maurieras, Yanis Mhamdi, and Marco van Rennes—are still illegally detained by Israel and may be held for another month. Arrested unlawfully in international waters and denied basic rights,

Take one minute: go to bit.ly/IsraelOnNotice and send a letter to the Israeli government, UN officials, and diplomatic missions demanding that Israel abide by international law and refrain from attacking, sabotaging or otherwise interfering with the #Madleen and her mission.

If you think it’s somehow antisemitic to be against starving and burning alive and blowing up children I don’t want to imagine what kind of twisted nightmare you must think Judaism is.

Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg is expected to set sail for Gaza on Sunday aboard a humanitarian ship, alongside other campaigners, in protest against the ongoing Israeli war and siege on the Strip. Read: www.middleeastmonitor.com/20250530-swe...

🚨 EMERGENCY DEMONSTRATION FOR PALESTINE 🚨 We are creating a red line for Palestine around Parliament during Prime Minister's Questions to demand a full arms embargo and sanctions on Israel NOW! ⏰ Wednesday 4th June, 11:30 📍 Outside Parliament 🟥 Wear red

In fact the letter is signed by SNP, Lib Dem, Green and Labour MSPs - all the major parties bar the Tories. But very good to see pressure building on the Scottish Parliament for its precipitous (and we believe unlawful) guidance. Please add your name to the letter below. 👇🏻

Israel has taken over the distribution of food in Gaza from the UN. This is how they treat the starving Palestinians, forcing them into cages like animals before giving them slightest amount of food. How can the world let this happen?

West Bank settler gangs are currently carrying out a pogrom in the town of Bruqin, burning Palestinian homes and cars. In the words of Israeli media, “currently no arrests have been made”.

Well done watching & having a party around the silly song show sponsored by an Israeli corporation (Moroccanoil) that treats the representation of a genocidal country as normal - meanwhile Israel was busy spending another night blowing babies to pieces

Okay, as an *immediate* step, I've done a letter to demand the EHRC engage with ALL relevant stakeholders in their consultation and Q&As. It's to get this on record, cc MPs, to put pressure on & hold the EHRC to account. ⭐Feedback welcome⭐ Please write in & share. docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Blatant War Crimes to cover up blatant War Crimes.

The Cass Review gets peer reviewed and absolutely shredded Cass is the Wakefield of our time. A scandal in broad daylight

By defining “sex” in the Equality Act as “biological,” it ignored key case law, EHRC guidance, and even Parliament’s intent. This isn’t just a reinterpretation. It’s a rollback. We broke down what the Court left out. gender-matters.org/law/ignored-...

An anniversary worth marking. I'm sure we're going to see the very people who have trashed its legacy seek to appropriate WW2 today - so let's remember what was really fought for: peace, a more united Europe, a land fit for heroes (mark 2) and the defeat of fascism.

My gender recognition certificate application was delayed because the panel wanted confirmation that I'd been using the ladies toilets for two years. You'd think the equalities minister would be familiar with the GRA and the GRC process.
